With Easter a few days away, we wanted to remind our friends about two dangerous Easter traditions; lilies and chocolate. This blog goes into a bit more detail about both including symptoms. If you have cats - keep lilies out of your home. Every part of the lily is toxic, even the pollen. Please call your family veterinarian or our hospital if you have any questions or concerns. #easterlilies #vsh ... See MoreSee Less

Easter is right around the corner, which means family time, egg hunts, good food, and a visit from the Easter bunny! Unfortunately this holiday brings many pet hazards as well. This is a time of celebration for most, but a time where we see an influx of animals visiting our ER due to two sneaky subs...

Henry presented to our ER in an unfortunate predicament. Whilst enjoying one of his favorite bones, it, unfortunately, became lodged around his jaw and hooked behind his canine teeth. Luckily he was able to be sedated and have the bone removed easily with a cast saw. His sedation was reversed and he went home no worse for the wear! ... See MoreSee Less

Had this happen to one of my dogs many years ago - we spent Christmas Eve at the emergency hospital. I kept telling her to put down the bone and go to bed.

Someone needs to send this to we rate dogs

OMG he’s such a happy boy in the first picture, so proud. 🤣 Glad you’re there for him.

Holy cow! The things dogs and cats get into! Thank you for being his hero!

Lol, I’ve seen that! The dog was quite proud of himself, and not stressed at all. We used Gigli wire to cut it off, and got o’s permission to use the photo for ed purposes.

Dog never cease to amaze me........

Oh my God! Poor guy!

Poor Henry...his face in the first photo is too funny, he does not realize what is the matter!

Testimonials

Our 13.5 year old Lab, Kealy, could not have been in better hands. She not only survived liver surgery for a ruptured abscess and septicemia, she has fully recovered and is doing GREAT!

All of the VSH staff was terrific, but a special shout out to her many veterinarians and technicians who stayed by her side 24/7 for a week nursing her back to health. We could not have asked for more, and are grateful everyday.

In July of 2014 Chloe unfortunately had a bad reaction to a vaccine and all four legs went lame. After about 3 weeks of seeing another Veterinary office, we decided to bring Chloe to Veterinary Specialty Hospital because she was not doing better.

After numerous tests, blood panels, and the wonderful direction of Dr. Steve Hill with medications, I am happy to report Chloe is now walking and RUNNING. All of her adult friends at the park are amazed to see her condition today. It has been almost a year and I am so happy to have had the guidance of Dr. Steve Hill. I never thought Chloe was going to be able to walk/run again but she is. I would like to give you a heartfelt THANK YOU for all you did for Chloe. You’re the best!

My wife and I brought Oscar, our injured French bulldog, in for an emergency consult. He had injured his spine and was rapidly losing feeling and movement.

Dr. Delamaide and Whitney got us in quickly, explained the injury, the prognosis, and the surgery. We handed Oscar off, not knowing if we would ever see him again.

Fast forward two months, after a very difficult surgery and what seemed an impossible rehab, Oscar has resumed walking, playing, and is just about his old self again. He still has some improvements to make but he is well on the way.

Just wanted to thank you all for giving our family member a chance. We can’t thank you enough.
